Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson welcomes delegates at DNC
CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson took to the lectern Monday evening to welcome the delegates to the first night of the Democratic National Convention .Invoking the city's history of political activism and storied figures from Ida B. Wells to Jesse Jackson to former President Barack Obama, Johnson tied that legacy to the party's platform behind Vice President Kamala Harris, who will formally accept the Democratic nomination for president.
'As a Black man raising a little Black girl on the West Side of Chicago, I know that my daughter Braedyn will see not only a reflection of herself in the White House, but she will experience the deepest part of American values,' he said.As CBS News Chicago's Chris Tye reported, Johnson appeared to go significantly off script from what was loaded into the convention's teleprompter and also spoke a little longer than expected.
